rersian Hasl,ers

III Persia the barber sAayes the
l.eada II his customers. dyes their
boards, pulls their teeth, cups and
hieeas them when ailing, sets their
brekea homes, and sAampoas their
bodies. DR.. Willis, al English ply
sieIaa. who resided IN Persia for many
years. being attached to the overland
telegraph, Mas invited by Hassaa, his
barber, to visit his shop aud g him
work, lie went, against the remans
stance Of his servant. Malek, who ia-
sisted that the barber would say that
the English physician had called TO
learn Of him heW to practice surgery
and medicine.
The shop was a little square reela
with enc side open to the street. In
tho center WAS q tiny bed OF flowers
sunk lii the hoor, from the middle OF
which rose an oetagonal stone column
. yard high. The capital Of the coll
umn formed a receptacle for the water
in which the barber dipped his hand
as he shaved his customers sealps i'll
Persia they do not lather,
On the earthea platform, outside Of
the shop. sat a barly man. whose long
beard was being dyed an orange
color, IL was full Of yellow mud 6he
henaa in a pastel, and bound mp with
cabbage leaves to prevent too rapid
evaporation,
The shop was very clean. On two
reeesses were displayed four vases
filled with flowers, and the implements
of the BARRIERS art, scissors, razors,
l~aaeets, hana-mlerors. large piaeers to
extract teeth, branding-irens TO eau
terize the arteries in am~putatlng the
limbs, strong combs, but not a hair
brush. for that implement Is never
used by Persians.
From the BARRIERS gir1le hung a
ronnd copper water~hottle. his strap,
and a pouch to hold his instruments.
In his bosom was a small mirror. the
presentation of which to his customer
is a sign that the job is finished and
that the barber waits for his pay.
Customers came to submit their
heads to the BARRIERS hands. aud to
have their paralyzed arms ~~hampoeed.
When served, they remained to smoke
and gossip.
Others called to be bled; they were
taken outside so that the blood might

After three pulls, a large piece of the
tooth came away.
"Ah.a exclaimed the barber, chats

A sufferer from rheumatism APP

iron, the patient lay down, and after
invoking Mahommed and the saints
was burnt three times on the loins.
When the English physician, having
seer all that was TO be seen, reached
home, Malek ~upbraided him.
''Sahih! | said i'll l knew it! That
dog, may the graves of seven genera
sions of his ancestors be defiled. There
he stands, explaining to the two mer-
chants, your patients, that you have
come to him at your own request to
take n new lesson in tooth-drawing."

Diamonds aftiag

To what extent has aiaaaeadreat-
ting been developed III this eoaatrysse
Was the query put by the writer TO .
leading diamond merchant GA Maiden
lane,
Well was the reply, "a yet it can
hardly be considered a. an element I a
our diamond business, II il, in fact,
in its infancy, and its beginning dates
back scarcely mere than fifteen years.
| presume there are not two hundred
persons at the most engaged IN this
branch of the diamond trade. and they
r confined chiefly TO this city and
BOSTON. There are but few foreigners
among them, for a large number Of
American boys have been educated TO
the trade within recent years, An
apprenticeship is served. / think, In
about three years, 1t Is net likely.
however. that the work of polishing
and cutting diamonds will acquire any
substantial position in this country for
many years TO come. mainly because
labor is SO much cheaper in Amstee~
dam, where whole families are en-
gagged in this trade. Whenever the
demand for the stones il lessened.
these can and de reduce the price To a
figure with which it would be utterly
impossible for Americans 10 compete.
IL would, of course, be q great advant-
age if we could bring the diamond
here in its rough state in large quanti-
ties, a we would thereby save the
duty of 10 per cent, charged on the
cut stones. But at the present time
the quantity of rough diamonds I'M
ported is not nearly sufficient 20 make
any appreeiable difference In the price.
OF TO influence the market in n
respect
There is no doubt about our excel
lency in cutting stones. We have de-
veloped y style which TO = certain
extent sacrifices material in shaping
the stone, but it obtains thereby the
best effect. This is what is most de-
sired. The credit of the introduction
of this new style is largely due TO d
Boston man, who was also the first to
instruct American boys in the art of
cutting and polishing. We have also
made some Improvements in ma
chinery, but the best Flaps" for polish
ing diamonds are still imported from
Amsterdam.
THE wages paid to these diamont:
cutters may be considered high, and
.he more skilled workmen are paid at
- much per carat in the rough. The
worSmen must have good Judgment
as to the form in which the stone viii
cut the best. Sometimes a great deal
must be cut from the rough stone to
get rid of imperfections, and again it
is preferable to ave material by leav-
ing them. His judgment must decide
whether the stone viii be more valu-
able when small without a flaw, OF
when larger with the flaw. As q
general thing there are always imper-
fections in the rough stones, and the
main thing to be observed in buying
them is whether the flaws can be easily
eradicated. Our city has not yet at.
tanned the dignity of being a market
for rough stones, and we still go te
Amsterdam, London, and Paris foi
supplies.
Eyes, there are -~n diamonds sold
in this country tina yer before, but
the increase of dea srs has been in
much larger proportion than tha'
of the consumers. The demand a
present is mostly for small diamond,
for making up into ornaments."-Neu
York Commercial advertiser.

Hints for Esthetes.

A pair of old castaway boots veneer
ed with gilt make a pretty wall orna-
ment. To add to the effect put patches
of cotton wool on the legs, to initiate
snow.
An old pair of corsets ornamented
with creeping vines and pretty designs
in Leaf, make a very elegant ornament
to hang over a b broom door.
An old coal scuttle tinted with deli
cate shades Of scarlet and eerulean blue
furnishes a unique relief for u dining
room wall. To brighten the effect,
place several selected vegetables in the
seuttle, allowing the tops to be seen at
a distance half way across the room.
As an ornamental design fer a front
hall take a dozen tomato cans and paint
each me a different color. Tie a bow
of pretty satin ribbon of various shades
about each Run n CANDY string
through the lot and hang them on the
wall close to the ceiling. One can
hardly imagine the divine effect Of this
exquisite collection.
An old tin water sprinkler covered
with a halo of gilt stars and ~pulverized
glass diamonds. and suspended from a
parlor chandelier, is very attractive. A
large pink satin bow arranged over the
spout adds very materially to the effect.

Mr.. Beecher's Estate.

The late Henry Ward Beecher's
books, e~ngravings, etchings, paintings,
rugs. and bric-a-brae will be sold next
November at the rooms of the Ameri-
can Art Association. The executors
deem it desirable to dispose OF them as
soon as possible, but it will be impos-
sible to properly catalogue them before
the fall. In MIR. Beecher's library
there were about 10000 volumes, in
cludiag a number of costly books of
engravings and illustrated volumes. 1t
was in the main a working library, as
he had no taste for rare books. Among
bis etchings and engraTings are many
choice specimens, including artist
proofs of some notable objecta. Rem
brandt. Durer, Rubens, and other
famous artists are represented. Nj.
Beecher was accustomed to buy what
pleased his taste. He also had many
valuable rings. While he bought many
costly gems which took his fancy from
their richness of color, he gave away
most of them and those he left are
probably not worth more than s 1000.
Mr.. Beecher's estate included his
farm Boscobel. ut PeekskilI, library.
pictures, and life insurance Of $4,000.
The life insurance is left TO Mrs.
Beecher and the residue to his four
children. The farm is valued at $780,
600. 1t contains thirty-six acres ant
is all under a high state of cultivation,
every sod of it having been thoroughly
SUBSIDIZED. On it there are fully 5000
forest trees and shrubs, including
specimens of all sorts which grow in
this latitude. There are also 1000
fruit trees and grape vines which pro-
duce two or three tons OF grapes. The
house cost 81, 900 to build and there
are extensive barns, greenhouses,
stables, etc. and the old farmhouse

Hsrseshoes and Luck.

To pick up q horseshoe is a sign OF
good luck-there is no doubt about
it. Maud S. can pick up a horse.
shoe quicker than any trotter In the
world, and see what luck she has
But 1t isn't always lucky to pick up
a horseshoe with a horse nailed to it.
A man down in Texas did that the
other day, and he was made to de-
corate a telegraph pole, just for luck,
1t is not generally known that ahorse'
shoe will cur dyspepsia. A horse
planted one in the pit of q mans
stomach who was suffering from that
painful disorder, and he never com.
planned afterward. The time to
plant them is in the spring. A red.
hot horseshoe carried in the hand
has been known to cure a boy from
picking up things.

The following yarn wa spun me
several years ago by one of Courbet's
former messmates:
Some years ago. when the hero of
Tonquin was q simple lieutenant. he
was detailed in company with half a
dozen sailors to explore a savage por-
ton of the west African coast lei
Dahomey. For days they had trav-
ersed the wilderness without meeting
anything in the shape of anima! life
save monkeys, squirrels, small birds,
and like game, too spry to admit OF
capture. Exhausted by fatigue and
famine, the little caravan found itself
n day at eventide wandering help.
lessly about in a jungle of outrageous
verdure. Suddenly n of the men
espied a hut, neatly ensconced in d
group of palms. Entering, they found
three negresses in the act of making
their painfully simple toilet. Having
conciliated the swarthy forest nymphs
by the gift of some glass beads. Cour-
bet demanded food. The dusky s'mai-
tresses de la maison" bestirred them
selves with generous zeal, and soon
produced some eggs, which one of the
sailors broke into a saucepan and
placed upon the fire.
Now, what shall we put with
themp" asked Courbet. 1--WE have
neither butter, lard, nor cheese"
Gazing around the hut, one of the
sailors espied a bunch of mushrooms
hanging on the wall.
In a twinkling the mushrooms were
seized upon and delivered to the cook
pro tenn, who speedily sliced them up
and flung them in the saucepan.
Upon beholding this brisk a%ppropri-
alton of their stores the three duskv
themselves on their knees before Cour-
bet, and seemed by their gestures to
implore the restitution of their mush-
rooms. Vain prayers.
In due time the omeles was cooked,
served, and eaten. Their hunger ap-
peased, the unceremonious Gauls were
about taking leave of the victimized
ladies when five stark-naked savages
dashed into the hut with a blood-curd-
ling yell. It was the proprietor ac-
companied by his four sons. Immedi-
ately the women broke out afresh with
their plaintive bowls, pointing to the
place whence the mushrooms had been
so ravenously snatched. The savages
took in the situation at a glance and
rushed upon Courbet and party, fero-
eiously brandishing their clubs. Cour-
bet lost no time in drawing his re-
volver, and his men followed suit.
Thus armed, they advanced threaten
ingly toward the Infatuated negroes,
who, finding themselves immensely in
the minority, hastily modified their
maneuvers, while the father Of the
flock stammered out a few words of
mangled English by way of explana-
ton.
Horrible revelation! From the
words of this old cannibal Courbet
learned that the supposed mushrooms
were no mushrooms at all, but simply
human brains which the provident
housewife was drying in the sun
against a rainy day.
Courbet acknowledged afterward
that he had never eaten SO savory an
omelet. Albeit the immediate effects
were disastrous.-Detroit Free Press.
